By Brando Godward -
Today’s walk looks at Coyle’s move up to the 2nd line. I don’t know how I feel about splitting up the Nino - Haula - Coyle line, but I suppose something has to be done. We need to score some goals! I think the real problem no one is talking about is Koivu’s continued chemistry problems with line mates. This seems to be a reoccurring problem every year. Besides the old glory years featuring the much feared Mittens - Koivu - Bruno line, when has Koivu ever really clicked with his line mates?? I can not think of many occasions.
(Speaking of Mittens, I wonder what he is up to these days?)
We could honestly bring in Crosby and Kane to play on Koivu’s line and he may still struggle to get on the same page as them. Maybe I’m overreacting. Or maybe these long droughts in between Wild games are starting to get to me.
Hopefully this isn’t a problem all season.
